Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

the DVD system so that the centre channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal

listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near

the TV.

Closed Caption

Closed captions are data that are hidden in the video signal on specific discs, invisible without a special decoder. The difference between subtitles and captions is that subtitles are intended for hearing persons and captions are for the hearing impaired. For example, captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone ringing” and “footsteps”), while subtitles don’t. Before you select this function, please ensure that the disc contains closed captions information and your TV set also has this function.
